Best Android phones (December 2017): our picks, plus a giveaway

With Android thoroughly dominating the mobile industry, picking the best Android smartphones is almost synonymous with choosing the best smartphones, period. But while Android phones have few real opponents on other platforms, internal competition is …

Now, Verizon is offering an even better deal. The carrier is slashing $300 off the price of the phones and there’s no trade-in required. Unfortunately, Verizon is spreading out the discount over a 24-month payment agreement. We’d love to see the price of the phone dropped by $300 up front, but that’s not the case here.

If you’re interested in the deal, expect to pay about $15/mo for the 64 GB Pixel 2 and $23 for the 64 GB Pixel 2 XL. You can head to a store right now and pick up one of the devices. If you’d prefer to order online, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to get that discounted price. This is about as good of a price as you’re going to find this early in the devices’ life cycle. Just remember that Verizon will be discounting the phone every month and if you cancel, the rest of the balance is due. If you plan to stick with Verizon long-term, it’s a great deal.

Are you going to take Verizon up on the deal? If so, will you be grabbing the Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL? Let us know down in the comments.
